Shastri Cites Gill And Pant As Future Test Team Leadership Prospects Instead Of Bumrah
The ICC Review: Former India head coach Ravi Shastri believes Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant shape up as strong candidates for taking the Test team captaincy in near future, citing their youth and the potential for long careers as key reasons.
Shastri added that he would not put much leadership pressure on fast-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, citing his importance in the Indian bowling department. India will be led by a new captain on their five-match tour of England, starting on June 20 at Headingley, after Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from Tests earlier this month.
“You groom somebody and I would say Shubman’s looked very good. Give him the opportunity. He's 25, 26 years of age, even give him time. There's Rishabh as well. I think these two are the obvious ones I'm looking at because of their age and they have a decade ahead of them. So, let them learn,” said Shastri on The ICC Review show.
